Saving Excel file with Python (Openpyxl)

Question

I have a problem, I have an Excel file (.xlsx) and this file have some buttons in it to help to change the language and a button that make a raport based of the data. The problem is...If I write something in the file and then I save it with openpyxl the file will lose those buttons and looks like a normal excel. What can I use to save that file with the same format? I installed an addin to see those buttons. What can I do?

EDIT: I tried to save it.xlsm but it doesn't open if I do that

Answer 1

.xlsx dose not have macros. Save it as .xlsm instead.

Answer 2

尝试这个：

wb.save('testsave.xlsm');

Answer 3

I had a similar problem and I have found a workaround for it:

Problem

I have an .xlsm file that contain few sheets, one of them has some macros and buttons, I read it on python using openpyxl function load_workbook (and passing the param keep_vba=True to make sure the macros are preserved), I write some data into another sheet that has no macros nor buttons, and I save the file using .save(...) . When I open the file using excel, the macros are still there but the buttons are no longer buttons, they became images.

Solution

Added a macro that creates the buttons on file opening ( and macros enabling of course). This worked very well in my case.
